We have arrived in Dayton... Saint Brendan again reigns as the NESBA Independent Open New England Color Guard Championships.

BUT... the greatest achievement of the season was not victory on the floor, but triumph of the heart, as hundreds of performers from many teams wore teal ribbons in support of Katie. The gym erupted with applause as Katie was introduced and at least for a moment competition ceased and kinder hearts joined. No matter what happens in Dayton, this season is one to remember.
